The printed image is lighter, but it is adequate for printing drafts or proofs. HP does not recommend the full-time use of Economode. If Economode is used full-time when the average toner coverage is significantly less than 5%, it is possible that the toner supply will outlast the mechanical parts in the print cartridge.

Selecting this option extends the life of the toner supply and reduces cost per page. However, it also
reduces print quality. The printed image is lighter, but it is adequate for printing drafts or proofs.
HP does not recommend the full-time use of Economode. If Economode is used full-time when the
average toner coverage is significantly less than 5%, it is possible that the toner supply will outlast the
mechanical parts in the print cartridge. If print quality begins to degrade under these circumstances, you
must install a new print cartridge, even if toner remains in the cartridge.
NOTE:
The
Turn Economode On
setting might work only if a genuine HP print cartridge is installed.
HP print cartridges can measure the life of the mechanical parts as well as the quantity of toner. If the
Turn Economode On
setting is used frequently, the mechanical parts can wear out before the supply
of toner is depleted, increasing the risk of toner leaking. Use genuine HP parts to avoid this problem.

are available:
●
